Go Kevlar, so if you do overheat it, it will not be damaged. |
im looking for an all new assembly besides the flywheel. pressure plate and everything. it has 79000 miles on the original clutch so it's about time anyway |

ok but wouldn't the pressure plate need to be ground down like the flywheel? |
He is saying to REPLACE the factory pressure plate with an OEM replacement. And then put a new clutch disk of your choice in it. Not reuse the factory pressure plate. |
ok gotcha |
eh, just get some of the san fransico "men" to help you. I heard they like pushing from the rear :engarde: |

lolerz!!! |
I just told you that all the aftermarket kits use the oem pressure plate for 400hp the centerforce dual friction is more than enough clutch.... good pedal feel too. You could get away with a stock pressure plate and a centerforce, mccleod, RAM disc as well... depends on how much money you got.... but all pressure plates are not OEM deals.... |

not true.... the centerforce dual friction uses centrifugal weights to increase pressure on the clutch disc as rotational forces get higher (IE higher RPM's).... for 400hp the centerforce dual friction is more than enough clutch.... good pedal feel too. You could get away with a stock pressure plate and a centerforce, mccleod, RAM disc as well... depends on how much money you got.... but all pressure plates are not OEM deals.... I am sure that he will be fine with just an upgraded clutch disk, if he was making more hp, then I would spend the extra cash on a CF dual friction kit. No need for the overly stiff pedal if you don't have to. |
yeah i just ordered the CF dual friction from jegs. hopefully it gets here quick cause my clutch if F$^*ED UP |

i was just gonna say never bend over in san fran, but it seems someone else already said something about that :lol: |
it cost me 600 total with shipping. |
yeah some pressure plates are OEM deals painted a different color..... I think that's pretty jacked up IMO. I mean some companies are charging alot for somethign they pay very little for.... Which is why I like centerforce cause they modify the pressure plate for more holding capacity. Never had an issue when I had mine and I was leaving pretty violent on slicks. sidestepping the clutch at 4K+.... |
Watch out with the AutoZone clutch kit, the price varies from state to state. It was actually cheaper for me to buy a Ram Powergrip than to buy the AutoZone Clutch kit and replace the disc (which is normally the cheapest option). |

CF must be hit or miss, I had a dual friction crap out at around 25k miles, just with bolt ons, car never saw a official track with that clutch and forget launches as I was on street tires. Wish I had pictures. Whats so bad about driving a M6 in San Fran anyway? I never had any issues when I was out in CA, traffic seemed to flow very well in that city, unless things have changed in the last two years. What was funny is a friend had a 5 speed S10 with the 2.2, he let a chick who only half knew how to drive a stick drive in San Fran, now that shit was funny. The hilly outlay may be a problem then.:lol: |
